Teheran, November 2nd, 2010. According to reliable sources in Iran (and confirmed by associations that defend human rights in the Islamic Republic) the Iranian authorities have decided to hang Sakineh very soon and in great secret - the way they did in December 2007 with Makwan, the young gay boy - and place the world before a fait accompli.

Sakineh’s son and lawyer are still in prison. It is crucial that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the European Parliament, the EU Council, the U.S. Department of State and all democratic governments do everything in their power to prevent the woman’s execution taking place.
